The book has been cobbled together by Milly and her dad Colin. Together they cover and explain:
Â
• what autism is;
• stimming and why it’s useful;
• fixations and what’s behind them;
• challenges with making friends;
• challenges with talking;
• why eye contact often feels weird;
• why ear covering is useful;
• being honest;
• being literalist;
• meltdowns;
• when people are unkind;
• why Milly is not broken; and
• what neurotypical people and society as a whole can learn from autistic people.
Â
Milly’s Mind is bursting with insight into autism, with beautiful illustrations by Jo McGivern. And it wouldn’t reflect Milly without a bit of humour thrown in.
